Double standard 😂

Laced with emotive prejudice

komekn:


It shows his exceptional physical attributes that are far better suited to the EPL than the less physical and far less faster Bundisliga.

Undoubtedly Haaland is an exception of exceptions and has fitted seamlessly into the Manchester City team it seems.

This your post isn't clear... The first paragraph especially. If the premier league is far more physical and faster than the Budensliga and Halaand is indeed physically built to match the pace of the league, then one would expect him to easily boss the Budensliga,isn't it?
Abi there's a different meaning to it?

BascoVanVeli:



I've heard it more times than I can count. I never heard anyone say "let's play Table football" it was always Table soccer.

Who is talking about Table soccer babana

Do we have a national team for table soccer?

dymusty86:
Double standard 😂

What's the double standard.

Essentially Haaland is an enigma an exception to the rule.

Nonetheless, tell me one striker that has left the Bundisliga and immediately dominated the EPL not two just one please ❓❓🥺

Not exactly because the team has to play to your strengths and in addition quality outstanding players to support your unique attributes.

BascoVanVeli:



Why didn't u add that Iheanacho had 5 assists to Lookman's none that season? I guess it would destroy ur narrative.

So why didn't KC score more goals his key performance indicator not assists ❓

BascoVanVeli:



The debate is about the word 'Soccer' being used in Nigeria lol.

Yes but your allusion to table soccer as a way of showing that we call football 'soccer' is not it because table soccer is not football at all.

Aubameyang is easy to recall

The key stat as a forward is "Goal involvements"

If u score 29 goals with 1 assist and I score 5 goals with 25 assists, we both have been involved in 30 goals and that's that.

It is based off football and u know it.

The very fact that it is called table soccer means Nigerians call football soccer. So all this dribbling is unnecessary

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China The fact is that Nigerians also call football soccer.

Me: We don't call football soccer in Nigeria
You: Yes we do...look at Table soccer

You are arguing for the fun of it. Table soccer is a sport played with the feet abi?

Na you sabi

LMAO you're not been serious right now are you?? because I know exactly what you would have said if this was a Nigerian specifically "osimhen", stop the double standard!!!! it's annoying

Asin eh!!!, this man's takes always contradict themselves. anytime he's caught,he twists and turns the narrative to suit his takes..

I don't know about others but me I have heard Nigerians in Nigeria call football soccer before in my "short" years of existence. Yes it's predominantly called football but doesn't mean it doesn't get called soccer too, albeit, to a lesser degree. If the name soccer is totally obscure, how come many people understand it means football.

Aubameyang is easy to recall

If you recall which your chose not to ,I used the word DOMINATE.

Aubemyang no doubt was a quality striker, but l am talking about DOMINATION.

Out of his 6 seasons in the EPL his best was 2018/19, 20 where in 36 games he scored 22 goals in those two seasons. In 2018/19 he was triple joint scorer alongside Mane and Salah. In 2019/20 he was joint second with 22 goals alongside Danny Ings.

After that he has fallen into unfortunate relative obscurity , never able to score beyond 10 goals , he has played 11 games for Chelsea and scored 2 goal.

HAALAND the Enigma has played 22 games and scored 26 goals, nobody has ever done that. Actually there is nobody to compare him to.

BascoVanVeli:




The key stat as a forward is "Goal involvements"

If u score 29 goals with 1 assist and I score 5 goals with 25 assists, we both have been involved in 30 goals and that's that.

Do you know the term goal involvement is ambiguous as it's suggestive not conclusive.

Because a goal involvement could be in you had throw in , gave the ball to Messi and he dribbled 7 players and scored. Your goal involvement is coincidental not pivotal.

As a consequence you still need human first hand input to put an appraisal opinion on it .

Danielnino00:


You grossly overrate the championship...it is just a money spinning second division league with plenty of mediocre team and players...

https://www.transfermarkt.com/kelechi-iheanacho/alletore/spieler/295330/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=FAC&pos=&minute=&pos=&torart=&stand=
That's a list of teams Iheanacho has scored against in his career..plenty of them are championship,league one and league two teams...some of them have moved between the three leagues in the last few years..

But anytime debates of Iheanacho performance at Leicester come up, you dubiously exclude all those goals and focus on his premier league stats alone...

Exactly because that is his KPI when he is in Leicester and the EPL.

Danielnino00:


At the end of his impressive campaign, Leicester couldn't sign Lookman permanently...why's that?

They couldn't afford him , it's that simple.

Dem no get money 🤑

A goal can also mean Messi dribbles 10 players and gives u a tap in. So ur point is really pointless.

Mumu or not, my point remains that Nigerians also call football soccer, simple.

We need good crossers and long ball specialists for Osimhen to get maximum support in SE. who are the candidates?

Basco that world Soccer is not used for football,

it's for Table, a kind of Football played with crowns from minerals bottle, with the circle of a radio cassette as ball

With the kind of content we are getting on this thread we can power the best football news source in Nigeria. It’s high time we started thinking of progressive initiatives instead of throwing hot plates of bitter leaf soup up and down.

We have the tiki taka analyst like GoodJoe.
The man on top of all things regarding Nigerian prospects and also a good analyst of the game, Nerdie
Basco who is elite in the domestic scene.
I can go on… please add to the list let’s start this discussion
